Apt Pupil, Chapters 12 to 20 Summary

Todd Bowden goes to see Kurt Dussander to tell him they got away with their deception and he probably won't be around much because his family is going to Hawaii for the summer and then he will be going to high school. He tells Dussander they could each destroy their letters that tell about their relationship, but Dussander says that won't work because they could have extra copies hidden, and there is no way to be sure they are all destroyed. Todd says he is trapped then, because Dussander will die eventually. Todd goes back to the train yard with a knife and stabs a wino to death. He sends a postcard to Dussander from Hawaii. Dussander runs into a wino on the bus and asks him to come to his house.
